Reading fluency, phonics, and foundational math concepts like number sense and basic operations are common areas where elementary students need extra support. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors can identify exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuild those skills systematically—rather than moving forward with gaps that compound over time.

The first session focuses on understanding your student's strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. Varsity Tutors connects you with a tutor who will assess where your child stands academically and create a personalized plan tailored to both PRAXIS Elementary School's curriculum and your family's priorities.

Tutors provide regular feedback on skill development, improved test scores, better grades on assignments, and increased confidence in the classroom. Many parents notice concrete improvements within a few weeks—whether that's mastering a challenging math concept, reading with more fluency, or participating more actively in class discussions.

In a classroom of 20+ students, teachers must pace instruction for the middle of the class, which means some students fall behind while others get bored. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring moves at your child's pace, revisits concepts as needed, and uses teaching methods that match how your student learns best—research shows this targeted approach significantly accelerates learning.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have experience working with students in Phoenix and understand the local school landscape, including PRAXIS Elementary School's standards and expectations. You can discuss your child's specific needs, and we'll match them with a tutor whose expertise and teaching style align with what works best for your student.

Absolutely. Personalized instruction works just as well for gifted students who need enrichment and challenge as it does for students catching up on fundamentals. Tutors can accelerate learning, introduce advanced concepts, prepare for gifted programs, or dive deeper into subjects your child is passionate about.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Most families start with 1-2 sessions per week and adjust based on their child's needs and progress. Varsity Tutors works with families across Phoenix to find options that fit different budgets—connect with us to discuss what makes sense for your situation.
